Day 166 - Aug 30th With the six week holiday stretching out before us back in July, there was only one way to make sure we didn't waste it, and that was to make a list of the things we wanted to do and people we wanted to see. I knew that we'd never tick… Continue reading Day 166 – Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

Day 165 - Aug 29th It had been a quiet, stay at home kinda day. and one of those days where I am not quite sure where the time went. After I walked Olivia to nursery in the morning, Chloe and me spent a bit of time together at home while Clare popped out. The… Continue reading Day 165 – The art of turning 40 and getting fat

Day 163 - Aug 27th Its a beautiful Sunday morning outside, and I've made the executive decision that we're getting out early and doing something.

I am keen to get Chloe in the water more as she has only been in a… Continue reading Day 163 – Summer isn’t over yet

So what do we do with a… Continue reading Day 161 – Make hay while the sun shines

Bristol is about 80 miles from us, but our friends live in Devon, so its a half way point for us both to meet at. We'd not been to Bristol zoo before,… Continue reading Day 159 – Don’t forget to look behind you

Day 158 - Aug 22nd Day 2 of motorbike training on the beautiful Suzuki SV650 and I was really wishing I could afford to take one of these bikes home once I'd finished my training, but sadly the finances aren't going to stretch that far at this current time. Todays weather was vastly improved, in… Continue reading Day 158 – She’ll grow into them

Day 157 - Aug 21st Only one thing going on today... and it involves motorbikes. Its the first day of training for my full motorbike license, the weather is not as warm or dry as I'd hoped it would be considering I was going to be taking two rather powerful wheels out on the road,… Continue reading Day 157 – Rubber side down
